I'll bite on this topic. Over the weekend my oldest daughter Josie's U16 club team (La Roca) won the SC Del Sol President's Day Tourney in Phoenix. This comes on the heels of winning a championship at the Disney Showcase in Orlando last month. They are now ranked #10 in region 4 and #31 nationally. This is a big accomplishment for a Utah team. Josie is the goalkeeper and she blocked a PK in the final this weekend for the win. Yeah, I'm kinda proud.

Glad you posted this. Congrats. My son made his HS team today as keeper. He's only played keeper for a year, but managed to make the team. I hope to be as good as man as he is one day. When he called with the results, I thought he had been cut. He was majorly upset that two of his friends were cut. He was sadder for them than the joy he had for himself. I'm prouder of that than anything.

Too bad they don't have the team to match...he said with 60 minutes to go...

And now we see why I made that specific caveat. That was some gutty play by the Timbers. Even though they had the chance to win it late, you had to feel that they really only deserved the tie with RSL...and no that isn't an error.

Seriously. The three former RSL players bossed that game. Combined with RSL's 2-0 triumph in San Jose, it was one hell of a Sunday evening.

It's been nice watching Real Madrid beat Barcelona twice in the past few weeks at the Nou Camp.

*edit* Yes, I realize the most recent win was a week or so ago, but I've been vacationing a lot lately. Now is the first time I've gotten to the point of reading this thread on UB5 so I thought I'd contribute.

Also, in response to the comments about Jeld-Wen, the Pacific Northwest has some great atmospheres for soccer. No doubt Seattle and Portland have the best atmosphere. I'd attribute it to all the hipsters in the area. No joke. Having lived in Portland for 4 years, this is no surprise to me that they are getting great support. Portlanders....the young adults... consider themselves far too cool for the NBA or college football. They strive to be "different." Soccer is the perfect outlet for all those weirdos. American soccer seems to be a magnet for the the fringe of society.

No, Boylen, not everyone that is a fan of American soccer is fringe or a weirdo.

Madrid is on a fantastic run of form. It was really fun watching them duke it out with ManU over 180 minutes and prevail.

WC qualifier played in a blizzard in Denver. Ref was going to call the game at 54 minutes but the players on both sides said they wanted to play on. Field covered in snow; players slipping all over. Up next, Mexico.
